FAQ

Q: How does the CN-HG701 compare to the CN-HG601?

A: The CN-HG701 adds a surface-hardened treatment to the outer plates that reduces friction and extends wear life, making it the better choice for riders with higher training loads or who want longer intervals between chain replacements.

Q: Does the CN-HG701 work on an MTB drivetrain?

A: Yes. The HG-X11 design is shared across Shimano 11-speed road and MTB systems, so it is compatible with groupsets like SLX and Deore XT as well as Ultegra and 105.

Q: What quick link works with the CN-HG701?

A: The Shimano SM-CN900-11 quick link is compatible, as is a standard Shimano 11-speed connecting pin. The quick link makes installation and future removal much easier.

Best For

Road and gravel riders on Shimano Ultegra or 105 11-speed drivetrains who train regularly and want an Ultegra-spec chain with enhanced wear resistance over the base 105 chain.
